Interaction between grass endophytes and mycorrhizas in Bromus setifolius from Patagonia, Argentina.
(Springer, 2005)
The interaction between grass endophytes and mycorrhizas of Bromus setifolius from Patagonia, Argentina was examined. To determine effects of the endophyte (Neotyphodium sp.) on the colonisation of B. setifolius by arbuscular ...
Mutualism effectiveness of a fungal endophyte in an annual grass is impaired by ozone
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-02)
Ozone is an increasing tropospheric contaminant of climate change. Exposure to ozone may affect the symbiotic relationship between plants and beneficial microorganisms. In particular, the herbivore resistance mechanism ...
Fungal endophyte mediated occurrence of seminiferous and pseudoviviparous panicles in Festuca rubra
(Springer, 2014-04)
Fungal endophytes are suggested to manipulate host grass reproduction. Using different grass-endophyte combinations in a four year common garden experiment, we show that endophyte can retain control over the reproductive ...
Epichloë endophytes alter inducible indirect defences in host grasses
(Public Library of Science, 2014-06)
Epichloë endophytes are common symbionts living asymptomatically in pooid grasses and may provide chemical defences against herbivorous insects. While the mechanisms underlying these fungal defences have been well studied, ...
The interplay between the effectiveness of the grass-endophyte mutualism and the genetic variability of the host plant
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-09)
Neotyphodium endophytic fungi, the asexual state of Epichloë species, protect cool-season grasses against stresses. The outcomes of Neotyphodium-grass symbioses are agronomically relevant as they may affect the productivity ...
Endophytic fungi of grasses protect other plants from aphid herbivory
(Elsevier, 2014-03)
Microbial plant symbionts are widely spread in nature changing the way their hosts interact with their environment. Neotyphodium fungal endophytes (Clavicipitaceae) are grass symbionts known by their production of alkaloids, ...
The role of grazing intensity and preference on grass-fungal endophyte symbiosis in a Patagonian steppe
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-11)
The symbiosis between cool-season grasses and fungi of the genus Epichloë is widespread, but highly variable in natural ecosystems. Biotic and abiotic controls underlying its distribution patterns have been difficult to ...
The enhancement of invasion ability of an annual grass by its fungal endophyte depends on recipient community structure
(Springer, 2016-07)
Most terrestrial plants establish symbiotic associations with microorganisms that enable them to overcome abiotic or biotic filters in ecosystems. Here we investigated how aerial mutualisms involving invasive species may ...
